Could a CBB housemate twist have already been given away? (Picture: Channel 5)

Celebrity Big Brother 2017 hasn’t even started yet, but it looks as if a major twist might already have been given away.

According to the Daily Star, the Radio Times’ TV listings guide revealed that the show on the first Friday of the series – on January 6 – will see two new housemates welcomed into the fold.

The instalment, called Celebrity Big Brother Live: Two New Housemates, was originally listed for 9pm and 10.30pm, with the return of Lip Sync Battle UK in between.

Now that’s a bit of a giveaway. Although a quick glance at the current listings on the site shows that the information has since reverted back to plain old Celebrity Big Brother at 9.

With the series launch still four days away, the number of housemates set to join the Elstree compound is still unconfirmed – although this newly released pic of the house might shed some light on the matter:

We’re not suggesting anything, but the fact there are 16 seats at the dinner table could potentially be a bit of a giveaway in terms of how many new arrivals are expected.

As for the small screens on the far wall – which presumably will display the faces of the housemates – well there are only 15 of those.
